you can't buy happiness, but you can buy Matt Garstka lesson pack
Daniel Semmelrock I’d say that’s pretty damn close
So... what you’re saying is you can buy happiness.
and now you have to get through sadness and sacrifices to achieve your drummer completion, only there you'll access happiness
Or you could just watch this video for free ;)
You think a lesson or 2 has you playing like that uh? Lol good luck with that ;)
This was our first dance at my wedding.
Perfidious Albino lmao too funny
Lol
Did yall break your ankles
Bro im high as fuck but that's definitely the funniest thing I've read in awhile on youtube. 🤣🤣🤣
And your last
0:57
something about not having the kick on the crash is so fucking violent i fucking love that
agreeeeed
You can see the cognitive contortions all over his face.
Lmao yeah I can see
Salt mining here is tough. Either people complaining his cymbals don't sound like bells or that his playing isn't pristine 4/4 by Ringo Starr. Keep up the great work Matt, anyone who actually puts the time in to learn about the art and mechanics of drumming even a little bit understands your tremendous work ethic and talent.
exactly
Only complaint my drum teacher has is that the toms are too low-pitched. They don't have much personality. I sorta agree, but the sound fits the music anyways in my opinion, so I don't really gripe about it.
Uh, don't agree at all
Even many pro drummers can't understand all the complexity in his drumming
Who are these people complaining that you speak of? Most of us here are drummers or at least muscially inclined enough to recognize his brilliance.
If anyone complains, they probably listen to pop music and can't even fathom his drumming or they're just jealous.
And to think there was a time that I was devastated to hear that Navene was being replaced.
Don't get me wrong, navene koperweis is great and all but I'd choose Matt over him in a demisemihemidemisemiquaver.
EDIT : Changed Heartbeat to demisemihemidemisemiquaver.

Orlando drummer👋👋😮
This album definitely has some of the tastiest drumming on any prog album this decade. Always in love with your style, dude!
When the music has no easy parts...
Samuel Bassani 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Samuel Bassani what? hit the drum? sounds easy to me
@@omukssbm I hope you're trolling. If you're not then you are literally the worst kind of person to exist. "jUsT hIt ThE dRuM" guess you've never even been closer then 1km to an Instrument in your life.
Omuk no you’re right 😎
@@raymondbauer2152 bruh he trolled u hard
He got ur little ego twisted
This is a tough one to get at full speed. It's tricky to get those articulations on the hi hat to be nice and clear. And that ride pattern at 3:06 is pretty tough at this speed with all the ghost notes and kick pattern. Not to mention the fills with the quintuplets. I'm hoping to cover this one but it will be a while before I get it at 100% speed. You're the man Matt.
Ramy Karam. its not speed. control you hands. and. read music
I've been working on this one for a while. Seriously have had to slow it down to about three-fourths speed to figure out where everything fits in there.
I just finished a drum cover of this(its on my channel) and I literally spent 4 days straight on the solo section at 95% speed before I could play those ghost notes at full speed lol. Matt's left hand is downright spooky.
Fills in quintuplets? When?
2:09
I just cant...your ghost snares are like the Energizer bunny that just keep going and going and going and going and going and going till you have great grandkids! Unreal
Yeah lol, in every song his drumming makes me move my legs like crazy, just to keep up with the rhythm. And this song was VERY challenging!!!
I'm a simple man. Matt uploads, i press like
I'm a simple man, I see a comment like this, I point out its unoriginality.
@@VinnyG_Music shut up.
you both shut up
I call him the 'Mattronome' 😁
Metronomes use a Matt to keep time.
Yes, both very original comments.

I think this was the sickest drumming I've heard played over a track
At the back are all the books you have to read to understand what matt is doing.
Grooving, such a unique feel, super creative and not boring at all. Up there with the metal drumming greats.
Your recording engineer is a god damn wizard. Awesome sound and no (apparent) bleed issues, while using condensers for toms etc! Absolutely beautiful, like the performance as well.
Seeing these videos on my feed always gives me a mini heart attack haha
You spelt huge erection wrong.
I was so curious how the last minute of this song is played and even when it's visual now, man, i'm still drooling..
3:41 matt's right hand cant take it anymore
Aldo Smok Damn, nice catch.
Holy shit I thought I was the only one who caught that ! We all must strive to that level that people are just seeing if it’s even possible for us to make a mistake! He’s phenomenal for sure
He hesitated for a quarter second haha...favorite drummer!!
Jason Berlin
This is the first piece of evidence that I've ever seen that contradicts my theory that he's a robot. And only slightly. Could just be a glitch.
Gabe Anderson fair enough
A walking rudiment. He's playing is out of this world! He's drum parts perfectly fit to other instruments. Odd time signatures? Waaaaaaaaaaaaat :) Animals As Leaders! Long Live!
It only took my entire lifetime! LOVE YOU MATT
MATT YOU ARE INSANE!!!! LOVE YOUR GHOST NOTES
I'd love to know how someone can even think of this shit lmfao this is actually intense af. I bought this book but damn this is hard
There is no such thing as a "Matt Garstka Instructional Video".
But there is such a thing as Matt sits at the kit and starts playing it, and you focus on not being swallowed by madness and and drowning in a river of anxiety.
You don't 'listen' to Matt Garstka...you survive him.
this comment should be pinned on top 😂
The ending of the song still gives me nightmares. Only Dirty D is capable of such dirtiness.
Shhhhhhh don't reveal his secret mate !
I remember the days when Mike Portnoy was my idol and no technical human being is close to him until this new genre that this guy's band built. I never knew there's way beyond that drumming. To cover a single song by this dude you need to burn your ears by months, Jesus!
Mike portnoy's never been close to Virgil technique and musicality for me
@@JGBDYT yeah but you are not close to either both lol
@@iking311 you are ?
@@iking311 I covered Bleed from meshuggah, Arithmophobia intro (from AAL) and working on This particular song right now
@@JGBDYT good for you, but still, its a cover song, you didnt composed and originated the beat. What makes a drummer great is they have their own identity and signature.
4:09 THAT STACK PART
Matt is such a great composer of drum parts! It complements the guitar and bass so well! The song opens a drummer’s mind to so many possibilities.
Bet you didn’t know that there is no bass player, just Matt and two guitarists
INCREDIBLE
I like when we plays the drums.
One of the fills into the break was so good I couldn't help but laugh.
The Best Matt I've Ever Met !!! :]
I can’t tell y’all how freakin long I was waiting for him to post the next video! Very well played and sounded like it was in 4/4. Anyways, great video!
Your performance is absolutely stunning! Can´t wait for your next project!
The lesson pack is awesome Thanks! By the way I love the show with Animals in Argentina, live is another level of experience! Matt you are by far one of the best drummers of this era Man!!
Matt is my all time favorite drummer.
It pisses me off that I have subscribed and turned all notifications on for this channel, yet I only found this video by seeing it elsewhere. Its not in my subscription list. Never got notified. I mean jesus christ, UA-cam. When I say I want to know about this channel's activity, it wasn't a suggestion.
It probably has to do with the fact that it was uploaded privately and then made public just a few days ago. All of these Madness Of Many playthroughs have been available to anyone who actually bought the lesson package I believe, hence why you can find comments on here from almost a year ago.
The skill level of this dude is unreal
Legendary drumming. Simply amazing.
And drummer face
Semplicemente geniale e con una tecnica incredibile, per me tra i 5 batteristi più forti del mondo
Always impressive. People who criticize who likely cant play nearly as well this type of drumming is not easy. Amazing as always Matt
Of all the drummer forums of the greatest, Matt rises to de-throne them all.
Every drummer's dream ... a masterpiece
just dope. I love the :o face you make hitting the snare and china 2 minutes in, such passion
Well. That was relaxing.
Fav playthrough ever
So many time changes your rarely move your body, and become the drummer of many faces lol. Great piece . Really enjoyed
One of the most musical ferocious drummer out there today!monster playing.monster track!
I love this so much!!
Like before watching.
邱千豪 the same here!
Matt you are the best beast!! ⚡
You are a beast man!Keep doing what you do :D
This is so good, best cover on youtube by far
this man is my favorite drummer of all time
Your drum kit looks and sounds amazing!
That part around 2:20 gave me a Dazed and Confused kinda vibe 👌
worth every penny!!!
Love that bass drum sound.
This is amazing. So badass dude
good to see new content, brother.
Reasons to thank our holiness, Matt Garstka. Subdivisions for days.
*insert Rush reference*
You're a madman. Can't wait to see AAL live again.
to even think about drum parts like this.... his creativity seems limitless
To another dimension.
Oh yes ive been waiting for this ♥
It must be illegal to be this good!!
Amazing!!!
One of the Greatest........I mean, come on, how can you remember all this?😲
Bringing jazz chords to metal is great. I'm not huge on jazz because it's complex but not hard enough. This is complex and hard and has a lot of dynamics.
jazz is one of the harder styles of music to play what are you on lmao
Yo Matt, saw you live in Asheville, NC. Your my biggest inspiration man.
Very interesting to watch
My goodness. I smashed my brain against this multiple times now, still don't get the whole picture at once.
This is beyond me. I’m speechless again
I'm just happy after this. 🥁🔊
This guy is seriously fucking amazing. God damn.
Garstka is amazing. I would be shocked if Peter Erskine/Weather Report were not jealous (snicker!)
This guy's left hand is unbelievable
HOW
Unbelievable. How to keep up with that? What a challenge to listen this. Matt's brain have to be studied, because he is NOT human.
My internal metronome needs to be recalibrated after that effort.
Bloody beautiful 🤘
GOLD.
More than great
Perfection !!!
I feel like this is one of those songs that you have to start a pattern and then just stop paying attention to that part and focus on everything else, like the ride pattern at 3:06. Just gotta start it and let that groove set in your mind and dance with it
"Hey Matt, your shoelaces are untied..." *Steals drum stick infused with awesome power, become ruler of the world!
The Drumstick of Destiny
The last 30 seconds made me think twice, 3 4 5.... etc; about me calling myself a "drummer". This is Alien LVL.
Top de mais!!!! Nice man...
1:29 when those ghost notes are just right
great!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
So sick
Top notch drumming
3:06 freaking love this
When you finish from Berklee and you get out to swim at the ocean of giants drummers you must shake the world so it is may as you rise like a star from an other universe !!He did it in some way and did it perfect !! For a while but no one knows what it's came to tomorrow! Isn't easy to remain a star upon there!!I wish he will do it, cause is good...very good!!!
This entire series🤯 🤦🏻♂️... Anyways, maybe this'll be funny to someone but was almost in tears laughing in anticipation as i began scrolling downward towards the comments... 😁✌️.. Matt, unimaginable terror for my brain, it collapses into itself if i begin to calculate the signatures..
cool stuff like it!!
Man owe's me 6 years child support.
Matt Garstka *IS* _The Last Boss_
Best cover on youtube
Supreme drumming. Zajebisty jest ten ziomek :D Pozdro666
Love how the extra dry stuff from meinl sounds. I have the china but want more, especially the splash
